SUMMARY: Local residents Kevin Firth and Bill Snyder discuss the issue of clogged waterways in Biloxi’s Back Bay, caused by submerged aquatic vegetation and silt. This has led to a decrease in water depth and a need for dredging. The local city councilman has a plan to address the issue and get the water flowing again through this area, including Brasher Bayou. The clogged waterways have become a sticking point for the community, and local residents like Kevin Firth are advocating for necessary dredging to improve the situation.

On Brasher Bayou in Biloxi, it’s a “piers to nowhere” scenario.
